30 wishes | 30 balloons

As a child I once found a balloon with a note attached. It was a letter from another little girl seeking a pen pal. At the time, I thought it was truly magical to find a message by way of a balloon and have thought about the experience off and on in the years since.

Fast-forward two decades. This week I turned 30. My life has been filled with countless blessings. So, in celebration, I wanted to follow the lead of my pen pal from years ago, spreading happiness and connecting with others with the help of a little helium. Last night a group of good friends joined me in releasing 30 balloons out into the world. On each card was a hand-written message from one of my guests to the balloon's finder.

I'll be sharing photos soon...but in the meantime, if you found a balloon, I hope you'll share a bit with me. What wish did you receive? Where did you find it (street address is great...photos are even better!)? And what is your new wish? You can leave a comment here or you can send me a message via email at cabrera.suzanne [at] gmail.com

Thank you for helping make my wish come true. I look forward to hearing from you!
